Roof Repairs

Believe it or not, like the rest of your home, your roof requires regular maintenance to keep it water tight. From the flashing around your chimney to the collars that surround the vent pipes protruding from your roof, it is a worthwhile investment to have Fichtner Services come out to perform a “Roof Maintenance Check-Up”. Even if you aren’t seeing signs of a roof leak.

Common Roof Leak Repairs

Fichtner Services can perform roof leak repairs due to storm damage or improper installation to steep slope systems including shingles, cedar, slate and metal roofs. We can also offer roof repair for EPDM, Duradek and TPO single-ply membrane flat roof systems. For liability reasons we do not work on hot tar or torch down roof systems.

“Wow. What an amazing company! We had a few roof leaks, and after making several calls to local roofing contractors who either never returned our call or never came out for an estimate, we were finally referred to Fichtner Services. Not only did we receive prompt service and attention, the contractors showed up to our house on time, finished the job in less than two hours, and cleaned up beautifully when they finished.”

Roof Repair vs. Roof Replacement

One of the most frequently asked questions by Annapolis and Baltimore area homeowners is should I repair or replace my roof. There is no easy answer. The best thing is to hire a trusted roofing contractor, like Fichtner Services, to perform a roof inspection. The roofing contractor will look for damage to the roof and determine the extent of the roof leak.

The age of the current roofing system – an older roof is more likely to need a roof replacement while a new roof would be better to repair.

Aesthetics of the current roof and home – a roof replacement can make a dramatic improvement in the look of a home. If you suspect you need a roof repair, the time may be right for a replacement roof and home makeover instead.

Weather protection – one of the most important functions of a roofing system is adequate weather protection. If your roof is not sufficiently protecting your home from the elements or conserving energy, a roof replacement may make more sense than a roof repair.

Selling a home – One of the key things prospective buyers look for when buying a home is a sound roof. If your roof is outdated, you may increase your selling potential and get a higher price if you have the roof replaced.

Fichtner Services offers both roof repair and roof replacement services for shingle roofs, cedar roofs, slate and metal roofs and flat roofing systems. We offer free roofing estimates and can help you weight the options to make the best decision for your home.

Fichtner Services was great to work with. From the initial quote inspection on my roof to completion, they were very communicative and took the time to answer and all questions.

Fichtner Services replaced our roof. We were pleased with every step of the process. The crew showed up before I left for work and finished minutes before I returned home.

The Sippls

Fichtner Services replaced the siding on my house. It was a 3.5 day job. Only on day 1 was a supervisor present. The workers did not have good English, making communication difficult. My husband had to make many calls to a supervisor who was offsite. We requested that the workers avoid walking through the gardens, but they did this anyway. As a result, plants were damaged and the soil was compacted. They lost the nuts that attached the front exterior lights to the house. 7 window screens and one patio paving stone were damaged during the work. These issues were ultimately resolved to our satisfaction. Lots of small bits of debris and nails were left behind. Cleanup could have been more thorough.
The installation of the siding appears to have been done well. The house looks good. I would have been more pleased with a bit more attention to detail.

Customer Experiences

Fichtner is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. What they quoted is what I paid. Crew showed up at 7:00 am and left at 8:00 pm. Job done perfectly. Came back next morning for final clean up and inspection. I can’t think of one thing they could have done better.
